AIBU to read porn on a kindle at work during lunch

[FifiVoldemortsChavvyCousin]

Not 50 shades, better quality. Not touching or anything. No one can see what it is as I sit eating my lunch. If anyone asks, I say ‘war and peace’. Should I save it for home?

I've done this. Yes people might be nearby but you zone them out, like you would any book. It's not like they're part of it!

I can't remember what it was called now but it made my lunch break more exciting (and no, not in a way that I needed a "happy ending").

There are plenty of serious novels with graphic sex scenes, I don't think we need to react as if OP has said she wants to fap herself stupid to a copy of Readers Wives in the lunch room.

I would say you're fine as long as it has a title you could say out loud to your boss with no embarrassment.

One of the males at work did read an erotic book. It had a naked woman on the cover that’s how I knew. It was fine until a 94 year old resident found it (care home setting) and took it

I think it is erotic fiction, not porn.

It seems I'm in the minority here, but I wouldn't personally read erotic fiction in a public space, and certainly not at work.

Some fiction can be very erotic without being explicit

What ever interests you it’s only words in a screen that you are seeing

YABU and GROSS

Sounds like a book version of AGP, to be honest. Does it give you a trill because you’re doing it surreptitiously, with your workmates around? Yuck.

Are you desperate to get onto the Daily Fail website?

Can't see the problem. It's nobody's business but your own.
But I wouldn't lie. But then I did my dissertation on War and Peace. So you could get caught out, because I'd be the person who asked you about Pierre and Andrei!!

And I liked 50 shades, even though it was shite writing.

I like most books I read. And I've read a lot of very good stuff.

So guess I'm one of those people who is easily pleased!

Are you reading the Old Testament on Kindle?

Pretentious Pratt?

Aren't we all Elendon?

Is it a fanfic?

I worked night shifts with someone who had a habit of doing this. I was very embarrassed especially when she was sighing and squirming sitting in her chair. It was excruciating OP . YADBU.

Not sure why you would, it's a bit creepy.

My opinion is read whatever the fuck you want. As long as I don't need to see it or while I'm at it you (the person reading) visibly aroused then I don't care!

Book ereaders mean noone has to be exposed to your reading material so why would it matter what you read.

you read a book on an e-reader - why would it matter to anybody else

If you're reading anything that makes you behave in a way which disturbs people around you, that's a bit inconsiderate. Sitting near someone who is sniggering and spluttering to themselves over a funny story can be a bit annoying. Also, if you read a sad story and start crying, people can be put out if they come rushing up to comfort you and then find out that it's 'only' a book (I am not criticizing people for crying over sad bits in books; anyone who loves books has probably had a weep over the death of a character or whatever at some point).

But FFS there are a lot of people on this thread easily freaked out by the idea of anyone thinking about sex or enjoying a sexy story.

I doubt it contained anything the 94-year old resident didn't know about.......

"Not touching or anything"

Whatever gets you through, OP. Whatever gets you through

I would. I do! Most of what I enjoy reading is M/M romance with extremely graphic bits. I do read on my kindle though so nobody knows what I'm reading and I would skip the graphic bit of someone was hovering behind me (we don't have a break area so I take my lunch break at my desk).
I'm currently reading highly graphic M/M omegaverse mpreg...but it's not like anyone else is forced to read it!

Is this a joke?

I used to write erotic fiction at work.
I think it may depend on where you work.

I can’t see why it matters really - if nobody knows then where is the harm.
